The big celebration at the Jackson, was
IL success, judging from the emptiness of
the tables and ice cream cans, but as is
usually the way, no matter how much is
sold there is very little made, after the
e'penscs come out, but | will not discuss
that point now In the evening quite a
large number were present, and while
some enjoyed themselves in social games
on the lawn, others did likewise in the
hall playing on the organ and singing
There were some charming ladies there.
One incident can remember was lady
and gentleman sitting I'm the.same seat {;
he was shy, and she was-shy too they
exchanged glances he shuddered and
looked pale; things began to look inter
esting when the lady asked him the
time, and their eyes CHANGED to meet
and the young man tainted. With the
aid Of some water and little fresh air
he was restored to consciousness. 1t is
needless TO say those two did not look in
the same direction again that night
Who can person believe, now? Even
good chdrch members cannot be relied
upon. Now, know an instance of
Il boy, who is in the habit of writing a
correspondence, occasionally, to paper,
and also attending Sunday school. 1t
CHANGED this Sunday school was going to
have festival to clear debt, and asked
the boy to give them (the SCHOOL, local
and if lie would how they would treat
him. lie gave them locals and they
treated him-mcan. Ia few weeks after
the Sunday school proposed to have
their celebration, and again got this boy
and said if he would give them "pull
in the paper" they would treat him
right" fright mean they meant,) and re-
ferred to the previous meeting giving
him more tally than enough, and they
asked him to have a notice inserted in
two of the l1kton papers which he did
One lady even won't so far as to promise
if lie did not get there for dinner, she
would save it until he came in the even
ing. Well he went in the evening and
enjoyed himself, but he has not seer
that dinner that was to be saved fol- him
nor cake, ice cream, nor even glass
of water with piece of lemon peel in it
with the exception Of what he bought
and paid fol-. Now he does not mine
not getting treat himself, even If he wa.
scholar but through courtesy they
might Of sent 4 piece of cake to the pa
per that gave them at east 70 cents
worth of locals. The Sunday -schoo
would Of got Just as many locals without
making any promises as they did by
making promises and then not doing it
When you (thc jackson Sunday school
or HalD want any locals lei me know
and you shall have them, but please
never promise me anything, because
don't want any one to tell me false
hood. lam, respectfully, HOMO.
